Transclusion and semantics

Defining a parameter

To define a parameter, the following can be used:

CODE Adding a parameter to a page
[[parametername::parametervalue]]

Next, go to the defined parameter page (Parameter:Parametername) and use the proper editing (through the form) to set the right type.

Referring to a parameter

Regular referral

To just include it in text:

CODE Including parameter value
{{#show: [[Pagename]] |? parametername}}

Referral from a parent page

If the parameter is from the parent page, then use BASEPAGENAME:

CODE Including parameter from a parent page
((#show: {{BASEPAGENAME}} |? parametername}}

Meta information

Discussing changes

In order to discuss a change, on the Talk page, create an open discussion like so:

CODE Discussion template
{{InfoBox stack
|{{InfoBox talk open}}
}}

Currently open discussions are categorized under.

To end, use InfoBox talk done.
